Orhan Pamuk is perhaps the most famous novelist in Turkey today. His
works were translated into various languages. The German publication
of his new book, “The Snow”, caught both German and other foreign
newspapersâ~@~Y attention.

The hubbub around Pamukâ~@~Ys name these days had other reasons as
well besides the books publication. Turkish Hyuriet newspaper touches
on Pamukâ~@~Ys interview to Swiss Tagesanzeiger magazine during which
he underscored the necessity of public discussions over the tragic
events, then added: “30 thousand Kurds and 1 million Armenians were
killed in Turkey. Almost know no one dares speak out of this, and
the nationalists hate me for this”.
